Ashton Kutcher’s ‘jOBS’ Biopic Is Coming To Theaters On April 19

jOBS, the biopic starring Ashton Kutcher and Josh Gad, is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on April 19, just days after Apple celebrates its 37th anniversary. Kutcher will portray the Apple co-founder’s life between 1971 and 2000, covering his founding of the company in 1976, his ousting from it in 1985, and his return in 1996.

From Open Road Films and Mark Hulme’s Five Star Feature Films, jOBS will get its premiere in front of a select audience at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on January 25. It will then be open to everyone in theaters nationwide on April 19, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The biopic, which is directed by Joshua Michael Stern and written by Matthew Whitley, chronicles Steve Jobs’s ascension from college dropout to the CEO of what would go on to become the world’s most valuable company. Part of the film was shot in the Los Altos garage where Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who will be played by Josh Gad, built the Apple I.

The first reviews of jOBS are likely to surface after the Sundance Film Festival showing later this week, so be sure to look out for those. It’ll be interesting to see whether Kutcher and co. can prove the skeptics wrong.
